Paper is pretty much paper is paper. I bought a ream of this paper because of the rebate. I have used a wide variety of paper brands from Monsatto Office Depot Staples high end paper companies HP Larsen Epson and what ever other paper companies make paper. The most important thing about paper use is to be sure to keep the paper paths in printers clean and free of gunk; other than that paper is pretty much paper aside from paper brightness which is a whole other issue as is specialty papers such as those used for resumes. But as far as this paper is conccerned it's fine for eveyday use!
